"I posted the Fallacies Index earlier for the benefit of anyone who is confused by the importance of these ideas and I hope you will find a few minutes to review the index"

"friend of a friend of friend swore to me"

===============================

You may hope all you want that I will take a few minutes to review your index. Are you a betting man? Do you think that's going to happen?

No, not a friend of a friend of a friend. I told you the source --- the aunt of the Marine. For you to characterize it as a friend of a friend of a friend is disingenous and makes you look foolish. You are trying to diminish my reporting. Again I will ask who the hell you think you are? Now, take a deep breath, look in the mirror, and ask yourself who is wasting bandwith.

re: "I offered the OPINION this entire thread should be yanked" -------- if it was merely an opinion, the response directed to me would not have also been directed to Admin Moderator and Jim Robinson. Stop the nonsense and parsing of words. You were asking them to yank it. Are you man enough to admit to me that you hit the abuse button?

re: "best regards." Stop the condescending. You do not mean best regards and I certainly don't look at it that way.

Best regards.

Apparently I have nothing more to contribute to this thread.

I have made my comments. I stand by my comments.

Even in the propaganda press journalism requires two verifiable sources.

If you are willing to identify an "Aunt" who is proud of her nephew that pride should extend to the country he serves and respect demands she either make public allegations or find some credible way to publish her account.

As for the abuse button, it is my understanding the abuse button goes directly to the duty moderator. If I intended to report abuse I would not have manually typed in the addresses for all the world to see.

In case I have not spoken clearly let me repeat: I THINK (that would be an opinion) this type (throwing coffee in a Marine's face) of ad homeniem attack is disgraceful,unnecessary, and counterproductive. I HOPE the people who have gone to the trouble to create Free Republic would share that opinion.

I waited for several days for the situation to resolve itself.

When it did not, I "weighed in" as one poster suggested.

While I have not had time to review all your Hillary posts, I believe this is the only one which does not meet minimum standards of accountability and reliability.

You have only to produce adequate proof of this incident to silence me.

For what it is worth.

And yes, I mean it: Best regards,
